New photo for the "Where I like to knit" collection
|
Sun 16th Sept 2018
It's been a while since I added any photos to the "Where I like to Knit" collection on my About Page. However, Tim has been very busy with his cameras while we have been in Sweden and snapped me working on a sleeve for a summer top.
The photo was taken at a castle called Stora Sundby near Eskilstuna. The castle is famous for having 4 main towers representing the seasons, 12 smaller towers for the months and 365 windows for the days in a year! We have been so blessed with the weather, with some lovely warm days and brilliant blue skies. It was gorgeously warm sitting on the bank gazing out over the castle lake. I could have sat there for hours... |

Blogpost: Postcard from England - Jigsaw Colours
|
Mon 10th Sept 2018
We're in England and have been visiting Tim's Mum. Today we had the joy of helping her start a new puzzle - always an exciting moment.
Then we went out for the afternoon and when we returned, she had sorted the remaining pieces into wonderfully colourful piles. I had never thought of doing this before but found it fascinating. I have posted more photos of her stacks of colourful puzzle pieces on today's blogpost here. How do you start a jigsaw? I would love to hear about other techniques. Chat to you next time from Sweden! |
Off on our travels
|
I'm very excited to say that we have a busy travel time ahead of us visiting the UK, Sweden & Japan!
We'll be catching up with Anna in Sweden, and seeing the wonderful knits that she has been working on. Tim will also be hard at work with his cameras and I hope to share a series of postcards from the places we will be visiting. And just to let you know, I will be mailing US copies of our book, Reversible Knitting Stitches, when I get back State-side on Sept 20th. Anna, meanwhile, will be posting out copies for non-US destinations. Please click the button below to order a copy now. |
New scarf pattern for men – the Cambourne Scarf
|
Tues 31st July 2018
I have just uploaded a new scarf pattern, which would be perfect to start knitting now ready for the winter which will be upon us before we know it! The Cambourne Scarf is eye-catching yet sophisticated, and features a contrast-striped edge with a deeply textural pattern for a warm finish.
The scarf is worked in a wonderfully soft 100% merino wool yarn and the pattern includes instructions for three sizes and three different colourways. To read a blogpost about the Cambourne Scarf, please click here. To purchase the pattern, please click here or select the button below. |
